That's a DISTRO decision.  I suspect most that have binary feeds would
prefer to have a single busybox binary per architecture, and accept the
few wasted bytes on machines without RTC, than to make it MACHINE
specific and end up building it multiple times.

Anyway, such policy belongs in your distro layer and not in oe-core.
